I generate error reports like crazy

Alternatively, sometimes I get absolutely nothing when I click on a link.

Sorry I can't help you Littlek, but I'm interested in seeing the responses.

Hi Montana, thanks for bumping the thread up.....

Run the programs in this thread

No trojans. I have to go buy some diskettes to back up my system - unless It's safe to do that on a section of harddrive.

Hi littlek -- There is a place where you can shut down those error reports. I found it yesterday, I'm sorry to say, I have no idea where, but I have the same problems as you. Of course, shutting down the reports won't stop the sudden lapses and the need to turn the computer off and then back on.

I know how maddening this is -- it wrecks my sessions online and is a horror when I'm writing emails. The solution in our family is Mr.P says he can't stand to hear me yell at my computer anymore (oops! ) and he's buying me some kind of Apple G4 which is "supposed" to not suffer these same virus attacks.

Doesn't it seem stupid that we buy a computer & all the software yet some lousy TWERP from god-knows-where can screw it all up with a crummy little program?

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Any other product of our daily life - from fridge over car to even a videorecorder (sic!) - which 'acted' in such a way, would be taken off the market.

True, Walter, so true!

I'm backing up my whole system now. I'll mess around with that web page when I'm done, thanks Walter!

yikes. I am so not going to be able to back up the whole system (onto 1.44 MB diskettes). I'm not sure I can get the system data onto the diskettes that I have.

ok, so, now how do I reformatt/erase these diskettes that I started to back up onto? And, how do I make a back up without having access to a CD writer?

advice from b-in-law: reboot in safe mode and then run spyware. And, he suggests, get a newer version (than 2002) of Norton.

well the reboot-spyware thing didn't do it....

So, if I go to highjackthis and run the diagnostics, but haven't done a backup before hand, will I be in deep doodoo?

help....?

ok, it's happening again - more frequently - just now. I find if I re-apply my router info things run more smoothly.

I have a theory that in hot wireless spots like my area (around MIT and Harvard U) there is so much wireless that it clutters the routers. Anyone want to demolish my theory?
